Introduction There are four forms of phytic acid (inositol hexakisphosphate, InsP 6 ), which have been identified in nature, myo, neo-, scyllo- and D-chiro-, that differ in their stereochemical conformation (Fig. S1) and association with metal ions as phytates in different soils (Turner et al., 2002). Among these, myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP 6 ) garners the most attention from plant scientists. It is the principal storage form of phosphorus in plants,...

INTRODUCTION Medicinal plants are reservoirs of bioactive compounds used by humans since early ages in traditional medicine for the treatment and prevention of diseases due to their therapeutic potential (Arun and Varsha, 2014; Dilfuza et al., 2015). According to Oluwafemi et al. (2020); Adewale et al. (2020), there are over 500,000 species of medicinal plants identified globally which has led to the discovery of novel drugs or new pharmaceuticals used for the treatment of...

Why do we, for the most part, give our chicks 24 hours of light during brooding? Do chicks actually benefit from being able to eat and drink at 2 am? Though it is widely believed that 24 hours of light is essential to maximizing chick performance and health, preliminary trails have found no significant benefit in doing so. Numerous...

Within an animal’s interactive physiological networks, the complexity of nutritional interactions is not solely confronted by the host but is made substantially greater since the animal plays host to entire communities of commensal and symbiotic microbes that derive nutrients from the host diet and provide vital nutrients to the host. The gut microbiome is involved in the development, function, and maturation of the host immune cells locally and systemically. Under the influence of...

Introduction Most of the population in the tropics depend on poultry as their significant source of protein supply. The harsh climate conditions in this region are making it harder to have optimal performance in poultry production. This results in a lesser everyday supply of...

Introduction The use of enzymes in modern non-ruminant production has become universal. This is due to the extensive benefits observed on the productivity of both poultry and swine with its use. Although most feed ingredients used in monogastric nutrition contain adequate nutrients, monogastric animals are not able to efficiently utilize all the nutrients present in these ingredients. This has been attributed to several factors including the presence of antinutritional factors...

The importance of vitamin nutrition in poultry feeding has been recognized for decades, yet precise vitamin requirements for modern, high producing have not been investigated. Because of their low inclusion rates, vitamins have a relatively small impact on the cost of feed. Many vitamins lose activity over time or under high-temperature feed processing. Vitamins, especially the water-soluble vitamins, are tolerated at many times the established minimum recommended levels. Finally, the...

Immunometabolism is the study of immunity and metabolism as an integrated system. The prototypical organ for such study is the gut. Central to the proper and optimum functioning of the gut, thus its immunometabolism, is the microbiota. Often the microbiota is considered only in the context of what functions, molecules and signals it provides to the host. However, the interactions between the host and microbiota must fundamentally be understood as bidirectional communication. In the realm of...

Introduction Over the years, nutritionists have studied several ways to determine the ideal dietary supply of essential amino acids to optimize poultry performance. However, considering only performance objectives without taking into account economic factors may not reflect maximum profitability, since optimizing performance is not always viable (Pack et al., 2003). An economic approach to determine amino acid supply by minimizing feeding costs and maximizing revenues was...

Introduction In recent years, there has been increasing concern over the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in livestock production due to the possible emergence of multi-drug resistance, dangers of environmental pollution and toxic residue in animal products (Diarra and Malouin, 2014; Alagbe, 2019). Consumption of animal products (meat, milk and eggs) with residues of antibiotics can actually have a negative impact on human health (Oluwafemi et al., 2021). Plants produce primary...

INTRODUCTION The global production of chicken eggs is constantly increasing, e.g., 37.4 million tons of chicken-eggs were produced in 1990, and 80 million tons in 2018. The WHO has estimated that production will have to increase four-fold to meet the global demand for chicken eggs in the next two decades (1, 2). Hence, the poultry industry must be increasingly efficient despite being one of the most efficient and technologically advanced animal production activities...

Bird performs well within a certain range of environmental temperatures. As the temperature gets higher than the range, the bird falls on stress generally called heat stress. Heat stress is the most significant stressors influencing poultry productivity and causing considerable economic losses in the poultry industry. This induces several negative effects on physiological response of bird. Reducing feed consumption, body weight gain, feed efficiency, egg production and immune response are of...

1. Introduction The conversion of dietary protein and amino acids into the protein of chicken-meat is indeed a dynamic process. Quite typically, broiler chickens attain a live weight of 2.918 kg at 42 days post-hatch and a carcass weight of 2.151 kg following processing. This translates to 376 g of carcass protein as a Ross 308 broiler carcass contains 175 g/kg protein [1]. Broiler chickens consume 4.702 kg of feed over 42 days with dietary protein contents declining from 230 to...

INTRODUCTION Currently, there is a major concern in the society with the use of antimicrobial agents in livestock feed, and such chemicals can be added to the feed as either therapeutic agents or performance enhancers. As enhancers, lower antimicrobial doses are used for longer periods, which can potentiate selection of resistant bacteria (Baurhoo et al., 2009). For this reason, a great pressure has been exerted by the society to reduce the use of antimicrobials in the...
